Where does the KVS tool get its data and is KVS authorized to provide this data in the manner it is presented?

The tool is known to access a variety of web sites, many in a manner that is not authorized. Please see the next section of this Wiki for a list of sites believed to be accessed and their data access policies (where known).

Additionally, under some conditions the tool appears to access sites via a KVS-operated back end. This means that the tool is not just a 'web browser' that runs via a user's machine. No detailed public information is available about how this works or whether any of this back-end access is authorized.

Different prices for same fare.

On KVS, I find this fare

[KVS Availability Tool 3.3.2/Platinum - Sabre: Fares/DotRes/UK]

Code:

CDG  Paris Charles De Gaulle FR [LFPG]
NYC  New York Metro NY US = JFK LGA
SAM  21 févr 2009 / JEU  26 févr 2009 / RT

Carrier   From   To   Fare      Cur                      Fare Basis
--------- ------ ---- --------- ---- --------- ---- ---- ---------- 
DL        CDG    NYC      192   EUR                      ULDLSS

but on Delta website, I find 216 EUR for the same fare basis

Why this 12,6% difference on the same fare?

Is it due to Delta or to Sabre ( in KVS ) ?

Thank you

It is the same fare and the same total amount (453 EUR), but Delta.com is just breaking it down differently (216EUR + 237 EUR). ITA is showing the same base fare as DotRes:

Fare (A2): DL NYCPAR ULDLSS fare (rules) €96.00
Tax: USDA APHIS Fee $5.00
Tax: US Immigration Fee $7.00
Tax: US Customs Fee $5.50
Tax: French Aviation Civile Tax €7.04
Tax: French International Passenger Service Charge €17.34
Tax: French Airport Tax €9.63
Tax: French Air Passenger Solidarity Tax €4.00
Tax: US International Arrival Tax $15.40
Tax: DL YQ surcharge €180.00
Tax: US International Departure Tax $15.40
Tax: US September 11th Security Fee $2.50
Tax: US Passenger Facility Charge $4.50
Total for 1 adult passenger: €453.76

Hello..
I was wonder if this tool is able to allow me to buy the tickets or do i have to contact my travel agent to buy it for me? Sorry if this seems to be a stupid question or answered before. Just starting to get familar with this tool.

Thanks..
